JUVENILE PARADE

POOR LINE TO FUTURE

(Special to "The Post.")

AUCKLAND, This Day. Of the 25 two-year-olds carded for the two-year-old parade at the Pakuranga Hunt Meeting, 13 went to the post in the pouring rain. They did not impress as have some of the parading juveniles in past years. The wet tracks had left most of them short of work, and this was reflected in the sprint, most of them being asked to go at half to three-quarter pace. Leading them home at the end of the sprint over nearly three furlongs was Beau lo Havre, who hit out freely and apparently revelled in the conditions, for he came home straight' as a veteran. He is a well-built brown colt by Beau Repaire (a successful racehorse in the north a few years ago) from Pretty Brown, an English-bred mare by Tommy Atkins from Cloelia, by Lancegaye. Beau le Havre carries the colours of his breeder, Mr. Jas. Nash. Supervision just shaded Pahlwan for second place, and he did well, for he finished strongly. The former is by Revelation from Ithaca, daughter of Lysander and Leta. dam of that good horse of other days, Thespian. Pahlwan is a bay gelding by Bulandshar from .Killara, by Arausio from Hoy, dam of a long line of winners, including Shirley. Anomaly, Snatcher, Penelophon, and King's Jest (a Great Northern Hurdles winner). Following the first three home were: Diamond Doll, a chestnut filly by Theio from Odavarb and a sister to the Marton two-year-old winner Theocritus; Brierly, a rather nice chestnut filly by Musketoon from Miss Brierly, by King Lv; Valsan, a filly by Bulandshar from Vaalmia, by Vaals from Joy Queen, by Romeo; Abbey Pay, a promising filly by Cambria Park from Princess March (dam of Kiatere Maati), by Vaals from March, dam of Te Kara, Queen March, Te Hoia, Kahapa, and Malatour. Abbey Pay. bounced out of the barrier brilliantly, but then was eased. The first northern two-year-old event is to be run at Ellerslie i next week, at the Avondale fixture, and the majority of those named above will be engaged. In addition there are certain to be some from outlying districts, and with probably better tracks there they may have the advantage over citytrained youngsters. Youngsters trained at Te Awamutu, Matamata, and Te Aroha, for instance, should be more forward than those undergoing their preparation at other tracks.
